Desktop effects could not be enabled since latest updates

Binary package hint: desktop-effects

As of todays updates, Sep-20, Desktop effects cannot be enabled.

If I try to run command compiz in terminal, I get the following output:
Checking for Xgl: not present.
Detected PCI ID for VGA: 02:00.0 0300: 10de:0141 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present.
Checking for non power of two support: present.
Checking for Composite extension: present.
Comparing resolution (1680x1050) to maximum 3D texture size (512): Failed.

This is also entered in launchpad as bug #141130. There is a comment there to see ubuntuforums .org for a change to the /usr/bin/compiz wrapper script.

The change:

Oops. That was reversed...

[FROM]
TEXTURE_LIMIT=$(glxinfo -l | grep GL_MAX_3D_TEXTURE_SIZE | sed 's/.*=[^0-9]//g')
---
[TO]
TEXTURE_LIMIT=$(glxinfo -l | grep GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE | sed 's/.*=[^0-9]//g')
